About
This study investigates the facilitators and barriers to colorectal cancer screening in underserved populations with a focus on African American, Latinx, and Asian (Chinese) in the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center catchment area. Learning what encourages people and what keeps people from getting colorectal cancer screening may help researchers develop an educational tool for colorectal cancer screening that addresses colorectal cancer knowledge, beliefs, and cultural factors in underserved populations.
